Pros

The pros were just my co-workers. You are off most holidays. Other than that stay away!!!!

Cons

The cons...where should I begin. This company is all the way lost. They only want snitches working for them. If you have an opinion please believe they don't want you working for them. There are a lot of EEOC issues with this company. I see why they are sued a lot. If you aren't apart of the super bestfriend club then you will be fired. Management is horrible and this company has yet to deal with these issues. I see this repeatedly in these reviews. Everyone can't be saying the same thing and it's a lie. It's like a high school jungle with this company. Everyone knows everybody's business. Managers write you up for petty issues then try to call the talent people to make it a legal write it. Managers do fraudlent write ups and when you report to the upper management they over looks like its okay. And you have proof that the write up is fraud. Please don't call the speak up line. They claim you are anonymous. They throw you under the bus and after that the management team is messing with you to get you out of there. This company doesn't appreciate your opinion on how things can work better. Its like you're working for a slave master. They work you over your hours and roll your time back to 80hrs like you haven't put in major overtime. Please don't get sick and have no PTO they we take half your check even though you have worked so much overtime for them. No work life balance at all. Tax time hours need to stay at regular working hours. There is a major communication problem with this company. Just remember if you are a strong minded person this is not the place for you. They only want weak minded people they can control. Upper management doesn't talk to the employees to see what's actually going on to try to improve business. They want you to run up to them and speak like they work for you. I stayed at this company too long disregarding my morals and beliefs on the issues I saw. That's why I would never step up. There are a lot of illegal acts that go on here. They are very discriminative especially towards women. Watch your back and trust no one. No HR department so things are done very crooked here. That's why the turn over is so high. People can't be leaving similar reviews if these issues weren't true. This job is for the young college kid. It is not made for real adults. The salary is also deceiving. You have to keep your taxes in your paystub in order to make some real money. Just remember everyone in this company is for self. Your own manager won't have your back.

Pros

The company culture at the corporate level has historically been strong. Compensation is about average for the industry and the benefits package is solid. As a remote employee, I’ve been fortunate to work with a great team and supportive direct leaders who care about doing good work.

Cons

Recently, new leadership initiatives have begun shifting the direction of the company. For example, there appears to be a heavy focus on automation and AI investments into my sector of the business, which has created uncertainty for many roles that do not require specialized technical skills or executive leadership experience. Many long-tenured leaders who helped shape the culture have been with the company for 10+ years, but it is unclear if that same level of stability will exist going forward. There has also been a push from HR for employees near a home office to return to hybrid or in-office work. Most newly posted roles now require proximity to a home office, with very few fully remote positions available. This can limit internal mobility for existing remote employees, even when their experience aligns well with the role requirements. Additionally, internal compensation policies appear to favor external hires in some situations. Internal transfers often retain similar compensation unless the move is classified as a formal promotion, which can discourage internal career growth. Overall, policies and structural decisions sometimes feel prioritized over retaining experienced internal talent.
